No to GMO

Thought I’d pass along a little bit of information regarding GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). We’ve briefly discussed the concept of GMO’s in one of my previous posts in an attempt to distinguish the difference between a GMO and a hybrid. To further clarify, GMO’s are made by forcing genes from one species (such as bacteria, viruses, animals, or humans) into the DNA of a food crop or animal to introduce a new trait. Biotechnology giant, Monsanto, has accomplished this multiple times over with corn, soy, alfalfa, etc. For years, Monsanto and the like have made wide claims that genetically-modified crops are not only safe, but will bring an end to world hunger. Of course, one has to question safety claims when roughly 95 percent of the published research involving GMO’s has been conducted and paid for by the biotechnology industry! This means that only five percent of the available research on the subject has been conducted by independent research firms that are much more likely to have an honest, unbiased approach. And why would the BT industry go to such great lengths to “prove” that GM seeds are safe? It’s all in the patent…or moreover profit!

Here are a couple of resources which you may find interesting:
